yeah i did ... but it was wee hours already when i got in. thanks to Eris's tow truck contact. he seemed like a nice chap.

 

the safety issue was questionable for a minute when i was in the m'sian tow truck.

the guys were suppose to escort the truck in case it tried to veer off somewhere, but instead those chaps decided to shoot by the truck and meet me at the supposed customs. next i knew i was riding in the truck alone... hahahahahahah.....

 

preparing my helmet as a weapon all the way after that....

 

but they were great. they stuck with me all the way to the wee hours considering they have to work the next day..

 

however, on a good note... i believe my baby will be ready to fire up tonight once i have the parts replaced.

 

probably do an oil change as well and flush the brakes and clutch system if i have the time.

Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to do the bidding of the leaders.

All you have to do is tell them they are being attacked,

and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger.

It works the same in any country.[/b]

Changesd plug last nite and did what Mao advised but she still refuse to fire up... the night before she dies, was telling wife that I was considering to let go SDR and get a Tricker... think she heard it... may be I should rephrase it, keep SDR and get a Tricker... or keep SDR and transform her to a Tricker... seem like a better idea, can save $$$ too...

 

Towing her to mech later and see how, hope just a minor problem...

Think you mustn't tekan your bike like that anymore, how about some TLC instead :cheeky:

Mech quoted me an original coil for $200++ excluding labour, is it expensive? Told me that my SDR was previously using magnetic coil from a 125cc, should be from TZR or RD, as both bikes using Power Valve and blar blar blar..., anyway, even if he put a modified coil from other bike I wouldn't know... so best is to believe what he says.

 

SDR is built to tekan, @ 90km/hr, the bike feels really lousy, sweetest cruising speed I felt is 110km/hr onwards... and idling speed is 1400rpm and max is 9000rpm,still don't understand why Yamaha built SDR... for racing? can't be as she is using a dirtbike engine but frame and swing arm, suspension, carb is for pure sports racing... and consider tt time, Yamaha has the TZR250cc, SDR is just in between 125cc and 250cc, no class to race during tt time :confused:

 

Anyway, what ever it is, just tekan, make myself happy then sorry... :weep:

 

Guess SDR is part of the family tree for the following tt never come into Singapore :

Now then we're making a fuss over it as if its something new and credited the design to MotoGP........ :giddy:

they introduced tt on 1987 - 1st SRX600cc, tt's a very reliable and powerful engine, tt engine technology was b/fw to the later Diversion...

 

Anyway, now almost all brands are building retro bikes like the Ducati, Trumph, Honda, Yamaha, Suzuki and Kawasaki... wonder when BMW will re-release those reliable yet simple 2 valves engine again... will be interesting if they are do tt and wonder will the sales of 2 valve better than their 4 valves... just wonder...

 

Saw this just now along Potong Pasir, guess he just got his bike... awesome looking beast...

a massive 147ft.lbf torque at 2,500rpm, with 90% delivered at a mere 1,800 rpm. This stunning triple digit number means, two-up, it will accelerate faster than pretty much anything else on two wheels.
